For those that want to give input on the proposed Commerce St. 2-way,
this survey was sent out earlier today by the Downtown Alliance.
Personally, I think it should, if anything, be diverted from Market through the SAWS property, or just go up Bowie to be 2 way in front of the Dennys.

Please take this quick survey: COMMERCE STREET TWO-WAY TRAFFIC FEASIBILTY STUDY SURVEY
When Mayor Castro and District 2 Councilwoman Ivy Taylor hosted the Eastside Reinvestment Summit at the beginning of this year, one of the ideas discussed to better link the near eastside and the St. Paul Square area to the downtown core was to make a portion of Commerce Street west of IH-37 (between IH-37 and Alamo Street - see attachment) two-way. Commerce Street is currently one-way westbound west of IH-37, and two-way under and east of IH-37.
The City of San Antonio Public Works Department held a meeting on April 5th with some of the stakeholders along the Commerce Street corridor. Based on input from that meeting, and additional research that the Public Works Department is conducting, they will prepare a report and suggest whether this proposal would be feasible. This report and any recommendations would be presented again to stakeholders and other interested parties before being considered by the City Council if a change is recommended. Any changes in the current configuration and operation of Commerce Street from a traffic operation perspective would require City Council approval.
We would like for you to provide us with feedback regarding this proposal, and so would appreciate your taking a couple of minutes to complete a survey by going to the below link. Thank you in advance for your time and interest.
